Sounds like something from /etc/cron.hourly. I'd go in there and check out what is setup. Got this fixed, it seems, as there's been no hourly email at 0700 this morning. Ron correctly led me to /etc/cron.hourly where there was a scripty-thing that would send an email with an error message if one of 3 conditions were met, and (strangely) send an email with no error no conditions were met. Thinking about it a bit before-shower I decided to jump into Logdrake and use the wizard there to remake that file. I did. The emails stopped. I checked the file and it now has only one condition (load3) and that seems to be conditional. My sincere thanks to Ron, the only response I received.

Ron, I was doubtful, but here's my logdrake_service and it DOES look like it's set up to send a blank email every hour! I know nothing about scripting, is there an if/then statement missing? I certainly didn't change anything, any ideas how this happened? Any advice appreciated -- another 24 blank emails today. grin =-=-= [EMAIL PROTECTED] cron.hourly]$ cat logdrake_service #!/usr/bin/perl # generated by logdrake use MDK::Common; my $r = *** . chomp_(`date`) . ***\n; #- check services $r .= Service postfix (Postfix Mail Server is not running)\n unless -e /var/lock/subsys/postfix; $r .= Service xinetd (Xinetd Service is not running)\n unless -e /var/lock/subsys/xinetd; #- load my ($load) = split ' ', first(cat_(/proc/loadavg)); $r .= Load is huge: $load\n if $load 3; #- report it my $email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; local *F; open F, '|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t'; print F q(Subject: logdrake Mail Alert From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ), $email\n; print F $r; [EMAIL PROTECTED] cron.hourly] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Blank LogDrake Mail Alerts
I asked about this 3 days ago and got one response which didn't help. Every hour, about 24 times a day (though some are skipped), I'm getting an email which says it's a logDrake Mail Alert in the subject. The body of the email has the date and time. There is no other information. Is it trying to tell me something? If not, how do I disable this? Isn't there supposed to be some text telling what the alert is about? Here was the latest: =-=-= *** Sun Jul 18 22:01:00 PDT 2004 *** =-=-= As someone else pointed out, I already have a clock on my screen, so I don't need an email bulletin of the time.
